Protesters storm offices of leading Bangladesh dailies after a 2024 uprising activist dies

Angry protesters stormed the offices of Bangladesh’s two leading newspapers late on Thursday after news reached the country from Singapore of the death of a prominent activist in last year’s political uprising in Bangladesh. Sharif Osman Hadi, a spokesperson for the Inqilab Moncho culture group, died in hospital in Singapore earlier in the evening, after losing a weeklong battle for his life. Two men on a motorbike followed Hadi and one shot him before fleeing the scene.
